100BASE-T

An IEEE standard, sometimes called “Ethernet,” that supports data rates up to 100 Mbps, also known as Fast Ethernet. 100BASE-T uses twisted pair cable. See also 10BASE-T.

3:2 pulldown

A method that converts 24 frames per second motion picture film frame rate material to 30 frames per second interlaced video frame rate. This process is normally done by a telecine. It refers to using two film frames to generate five video fields of interlaced video (1080i or 480i). The first frame is scanned three times to generate three video fields, the second frame is scanned twice to generate two video fields, and the cadence continues. Note that every fifth frame will have images from different film frames. These are termed “dirty frames” as there may be significant differences in the two fields of video. The 3:2 process can also be applied for 720P progressive video, this results in a 2:3 cadence of video frames, without the “dirty frame” artifacts.
